In the mountains near Jocotepec are still to be found many of the animal species that have disappeared elsewhere - deer, wolf, fox, wild boar, porcupine, skunk, badger and some reptiles.

In the Lake, several types of fish - charales, carpa, mojarra and tilapia - can be found. Migratory birds abound in wintertime, and garzas (white herons) are common.

Domestic animals, horses and donkeys, are used for bearing burdens, for field work and for transportation. Cows, pigs and chickens are raised for food and for income. Here, as in most of Mexico, are many dogs and cats.
